Halloween will be more fun than spooky with the resources you'll find here!

Our Halloween crafts and activities provide fun opportunities for learning through play.

  • Put on a puppet show, make a wreath, practice scissor skills, draw and paint!

Activities designed with kids in mind promote play-based learning. Early learners are encouraged to explore materials hands-on to use all their senses.

Experiences and processes in these activities are given more important than results. Provide a variety of materials with color and texture and let hands-on learning begin!
